Bulgaria opened Wednesday an exhibition in the building of the European Parliament in Brussels.

The exhibition goes under the name "The Splendour of Bulgaria". It consists of 40 antique objects; all of them are taken from the private collection of Vassil Bozhkov, president of the Nove Holding Company.

Antonia Parvanova, MEP from the Bulgarian Simeon II National Movement party said at the exhibition opening she is proud to be part of the event that shows how back in the centuries dates Bulgaria's cultural history. "Those are our roots and this is our calling card to Europe," Parvanova added.

The exhibition is under the patronage of MEP Graham Watson and Bulgaria's Culture Minister Stefan Danailov. At the official opening Watson underlined it is of high importance for Europe to get to know Bulgaria better.

"Many people know who Orpheus and Spartacus are, but few know they lived in the lands of modern Bulgaria," Watson added.
